OIL ON PANEL OF WOUNDED LION BY GILBERT GAUL PURPORTEDLY FROM T. ROOSEVELT’S COLLECTION AT SAGAMORE HILL.

OIL ON PANEL OF WOUNDED LION BY GILBERT GAUL PURPORTEDLY FROM T. ROOSEVELT’S COLLECTION AT SAGAMORE HILL. Painting depicts a wounded lion about to attack with hunter (Which looks like a little like a trim Teddy Roosevelt with his trademark moustache) in foreground raising a Martini-action rifle about to shoot. Titled on reverse in pencil, “BIG GAME HUNTING IN ZULU LAND, T. R.” Also on back, remnants of an ink inscription which read “SOLD, 1948 TAKEN FROM SAGAMORE HILL, COVE NECK 2 OF 1”. There is actually another artwork which was consigned from the same source has an identical inscription and says “1 of 2”, obviously they were both acquired at the same time. Gilbert Gaul (1855-1919) was a renowned illustrator known for his crisp portrayal, particularly of Civil War and Western scenes. He provided illustrations for various publications. One which he did much work for was Scribner’s Magazine and of course Scribner’s Magazine was the publication that covered Teddy Roosevelt’s 1908 African safari. Gaul was from New Jersey and because of his interest in American Indians and his and Roosevelt’s association with Scribner’s it is very likely they knew one another. Also on the reverse is some information from The Robert Stenstream Fine Art Gallery which apparently handled this artwork on July 30th, 1991. The painting is nicely matted and in a contemporary natural wood frame. A very special opportunity to acquire what is likely a part of Roosevelt’s legacy. SIZE: (Image) 11″w x 16″h. CONDITION: Excellent. 4-38854 JDJ (12,500-17,500)

Auction: Firearms - Fall 2011

Please Note: All prices include the hammer price plus the buyer’s premium, which is paid by the buyer as part of the purchase price. The prices noted here after the auction are considered unofficial and do not become official until after the 46th day.
